June's Sunshine

Oh my goodness I can't believe June has already come and gone. Our little sunshine continues to grow and develop and pretty much amaze us every day. So many things have happened this month, but I will try my best to give you an overview. :) We are trying to take advantage of different museums in the area. We visited the Museum of Life and Science in Durham several times this month. Grace love's their outdoor exhibits. 

 Grace's friend Natalee went with us on one of our adventures up there. :)

 A different time Mimi joined us for the fun!

Grace is a total water bug! We spent many, many days at the pool/lake. I could literally put hundreds of pictures on here of my daughter enjoying the sun, but I have limited myself :) She is so tan from all her time out in the sun, people are always commenting on it. Thank goodness she has her Daddy's skin and its ability to tan so easily.

We finished our season at the little gym. We have had so much fun watching this child learn how to walk, and run, and now even jump. The little gym has really helped with her ability to be so incredibly steady for such a young thing. The "show" was a lot of fun, and Daddy did a great job with her. I know they will be looking forward to September when it starts back up again!

We also celebrated Father's Day this month. This man that I picked at 18 has really turned into an incredible husband and father. We are so blessed to have him. Hopefully he felt spoiled on his special day. Especially the making pancakes in a winter hat pictures. :)

 

June has been a truly amazing month. It feels like it just flew by! We are feeling so blessed with this thing we called life.

Sweet Grace,
We love you, wow do we love you. There is something about the love you have for your child, that you just won't understand until you have your own someday. Toddlerhood testing can be in full swing, screaming because you don't get your way, laying on the floor, refusing to say thank you, and yet still we want to just scoop you up and kiss you from head to toe. We love you. There is nothing you can ever do that will change that because you are ours. And we love you. We love you when you ask to read a book, and go get one and come sit on our laps, wow we love that. We love you when you get your stool and bring it to the sink so you can wash your own hands. We love you when you ask over and over for "stay-ews" stairs, and take 30 minutes going down them to the car because you want to do it yourself. We love you when you use a crayon and write all over the wall.... in blue. We love you when you run up and wrap your arms around our legs. We love you when you sit still and we love you when you go "running, running running". We just love you.
always and forever my baby you'll be
xoxo
Mommy & Daddy
